Premier League giants intensified their pursuit of Bazoumana Touré as the young Ivorian continued his rapid rise at TSG Hoffenheim.
Touré joined Hoffenheim in February and quickly cemented his place in the starting line-up.
He delivered consistent, high-level performances throughout the season and grew into one of the club’s most influential players.
His progress elevated his reputation across Europe and sparked interest from several top clubs.
The 19-year-old winger drew attention throughout the summer, and interest increased again with the winter transfer window approaching.
Arsenal and Liverpool monitored his development closely and evaluated the possibility of making a move for him.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg reported that multiple Premier League clubs contacted Touré’s agent, Gordon Stipic, to gather details about the player’s availability.
Some clubs signalled readiness to offer as much as €35 million in January to secure a deal for the Bouaké-born talent.
Hoffenheim resisted approaches during the previous window and now hopes to retain the player until at least next summer.
Touré remains under contract with the Bundesliga side until June 2029, and Hoffenheim maintains firm control over his future.
Touré’s emergence continued to attract strong interest, but potential suitors may need patience as Hoffenheim prepared to hold their position once again.
🚨🆕 Agent Gordon Stipic already has enquiries from the Premier League for Bazoumana #Touré.
There are clubs willing to pay up to €35 million as early as the winter window.
Hoffenheim, however, want to sell the 19 y/o winger no earlier than the summer. His contract runs until… pic.twitter.com/XhXZglYojY
